4.0 star rating	The Hotel was great. Easy to find and park.	It was very noisy in the room we were in. Bus party left at 5.30am and a lot of people in and out. I would request a room away from the front of the hotel when I stay again.		27 September 2008
4.5 star rating	Great service, esp at Breakfast, the coffee machine broke down and the Duty Manager, came round everyone in the restuarant pouring coffee and being utterly charming. Very nice touch.	None.		23 September 2008
3.0 star rating	It is close to the place I was visiting. Reasonable price.	The hotel had a coach party leave prior to my breakfasting and the choice of breakfast was reduced. Not very much choice of breakfast - a bit basic.		13 November 2008

4.5 star rating	The service and staff were very perfessional,also the rooms and general appearance of the hotel were very clean,the food in the restaurant was very good but just a little pricey.	we thought that the hotel would be nearer the town plus the position of it did seem alittle wrong eg the front should of been at the back and the back at the front.		03 March 2009

4.5 star rating	I was advised that there was a party on until midnight and they hoped that I wouldn't be disturbed. The noise was kept to a minimum and I wasn't disturbed at all.		Lorrie	09 November 2010
3.5 star rating	The room was clean if a little noisy. Room servcie was good and the staff were friendly.	the food was poor value for money. Average quality but at a high price. Being close to the hospital, road and the kitchen extractor was noisey. 6 am deliveries were annoying.		19 June 2011

4.5 star rating	Staff were excellent, rooms were nice and to be honest, i was surprised it is only a 3 star!	Possibly the location, but that can't be helped.	jimjam	20 October 2011
3.0 star rating	Easy location	When I checked in there was only 1 member of staff on and she was dealing with someone I was waiting nearly 20 mins. The annoying thing was that there was 2 other reception staff in the back office who appeared at the desk and saw I was waiting and just went back into the office. I just thought they could of checked me in as they have both seen I was waiting ! I use this hotel for business, and I couldn't get on the Internet. When I called down to the reception they said that there is maximum people using it and I would need to keep trying . This hotel advertises Internet maybe it should be alot clearer to business clients . As I lost out a lot of time trying to get it to work !		09 March 2012
5.0 star rating	Excellent spread for the breakfast. Evening meal was great. The service was very quick despite being very busy in the restaurant	Room was too warm	Don Turbine	24 April 2012
4.0 star rating		Unfortunetly i had to leave after only being there a few hours due to a family emergency was not offered any sort of compensation		14 August 2012
4.5 star rating	The hotel was excellent. We have stayed before and was happy to return.	Very disappointed with Hotelopia. We telephoned on the Thursday 23rd May to make sure room was booked and paid for. Member of staff at Hotelopia who could not speak english and told me the room was booked and I had not paid for it and would have to pay on arrival. When I checked my bank statement the amount had left my bank on the 1st May 2013. I tried to explain that I had paid the amount and she became egressive and put the phone down during our conversation. Would not use Hotelopia again.		28 May 2013
4.5 star rating	very clean rooms			04 September 2013
	Staff very friendly & bar still open @ 3am (following Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony.Room very good & same as on hotel pics.Car park man very friendly & helpful! Very handy for Hyndland station.	It's true there is traffic noise..but you are in a city! Ear plugs solve that! Overpriced for the Games,like every other Glasgow hotel...but at least it was decent unlike some!	Anonymous	26 July 2014
